Timescape No. 1
2022
Performance
Candles, nails, metal plates, flashlights, and 2 channel audio
Timescape No.1 was created for the Walpodenkalender 2022 at the Mainzer Kunstverein Walpodenstraße 21 e.V. The work was also presented in 2024 at LTK 4 in Cologne as a four-channel audio installation. In the work, candles hold nails in place, and as they burn, the nails fall onto the metal surfaces below, with each nail drop amplified and extended in duration. The work turns fire into a clock: unpredictable, alive, and indifferent to the time we keep.
